The Sino-Portuguese fashion exhibition Oriental Portuguese Elegance – China Fashion Aesthetics was officially launched by the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) yesterday.
This free exhibition showcases over 200 items that display a unique blend of Chinese and Portuguese culture, and traditional craftsmanship and modern design. These items include clothing, jewellery, metalwork, ceramics and lacquerware.
The exhibition is a joint showcase and cultural exchange between art school students and teachers from Macao, Hong Kong and the mainland. The aim is to deepen understanding of Chinese culture and its encounters with Portuguese culture.
